5.0 out of 5 starsA hidden gem in the pokemon game library
While the long text and rpg elements make it not as easy to just pick up and play and drop whenever the story and visuals more than make up for it! Wes is a fun character to be and the pokemon (while limited) are kinda fun to figure out which combos in this double battle only game!

2.0 out of 5 starsColosseum multipayer gameplay is not like Stadium 1 or 2
This new offering from Nintendo is not the same as previous efforts. It is a combination of the Gameboy systems adventure play as well as stadium battling. BUT beware that in order to multiplayer battle you need Gameboy Advance,cables and games to play head to head. Colosseum itself will not play head to head with the Gamecube controllers.

This review is from: Pokemon Colosseum - GameCube (Video Game)

This new offering from Nintendo is not the same as previous efforts. It is a combination of the Gameboy systems adventure play as well as stadium battling. BUT beware that in order to multiplayer battle you need Gameboy Advance,cables and games to play head to head. Colosseum itself will not play head to head with the Gamecube controllers. Additional, Colesseum does not offer "rental" pokemon to battle with. You need to capture any Pokemon you intend to battle with. You and a friend can not simple select 6 pokemon to battle. You have to import from a gameboy for one player and use the captured Pokemon for the other player. You can not just multiplay quick battle. We called Nintendo and it seems this was the way it was meant to play.In its favour though the graphics are good and the tunes are fun.I strongly recommend you rent this game first before you purchase. You may find it is not for you.
